Slot Allocation
The number of forward path receivers (one, two, or four) and return path transceivers (one or two)
are determined by how the node is segmented and if redundancy is implemented.
To configure a node for one forward segment, always plug a single forward path receiver into slot B.
To configure a node for two forward segments, plug two forward receivers into slots B and C. To
configure a node for one forward segment with forward path RF switching, plug two receivers into
slots B (primary) and C (redundant).
If a node has a single return path transceiver, that transceiver always plugs into slot A and carries
the node monitoring management data. A second transceiver always plugs into slot F if required
for redundancy. Note that slots A and F have two coax SMB connectors—this is to connect the 2 RF
inputs the transceivers can support.

Note
Where specific procedures (such as segmentation) are applicable to both
Chapter 3, Configuring NC4000 Nodes and Chapter 4, Installing NC4000 Nodes, you
are referred to Chapter 4, where the context is installing the node in the network.
